CHAPTER 17. EMERGENCY INTERIM LEGISLATIVE SUCCESSION
§ 1712 Assumption of powers and duties of member of emergency interim successor.

If, in the event of an attack, a member is unavailable, the member's emergency interim successor highest in order of succession who is not unavailable shall, except for the power and duty to appoint emergency interim successors, exercise the powers and assume the duties of such member. An emergency interim successor shall exercise these powers and assume these duties until the incumbent member, an emergency interim successor higher in order of succession or a member appointed or elected and legally qualified can act. Each House of the General Assembly shall, in accordance with its own rules, determine who is entitled under this chapter to exercise the powers and assume the duties of its members. All constitutional and statutory provisions pertaining to ouster of a member shall be applicable to an emergency interim successor who is exercising the powers and assuming the duties of a member.
